Condition: Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) · Sponsor: Bayer
Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a serious and life-threatening condition where a protein called transthyretin (TTR) misfolds and builds up as amyloid fibrils in the heart muscle. This buildup causes the heart to become stiff, leading to restrictive cardiomyopathy and progressive heart failure. There are two forms of ATTR-CM: a hereditary or 'variant' form (vATTR-CM) caused by a gene mutation, and a 'wild-type' form (wtATTR-CM) which is associated with aging. Because its symptoms can be similar to other heart conditions, ATTR-CM is often diagnosed late. However, recent advances in medical imaging are helping doctors to identify the disease earlier. Acoramidis is a new medication designed to treat ATTR-CM. It works by stabilizing the TTR protein, preventing it from misfolding and forming the harmful amyloid deposits. Acoramidis has been shown to be effective and safe in a major clinical trial (the ATTRibute-CM study), which led to its approval for use in both the United States and Europe. While clinical trials provide valuable information, data on how a new medicine performs in everyday clinical practice is also very important. This type of information is called real-world evidence. Currently, there is limited real-world information about the use of acoramidis. This study, called ACO-REAL, is an observational study, which means researchers will observe patients who are receiving acoramidis as part of their normal clinical care, without introducing any experime…
